Training Packages
Trauma-Informed Care: Foundations
A grounding, practical introduction to trauma-informed practice — what trauma is, how it shapes development and behaviour, and what it looks like to respond well.
Designed as the entry point for carers, care workers, case workers providing a foundational understanding. For care teams this provides a shared language and shared framework before moving into more specialised or role-specific training.
Applying Trauma-Informed Practice: Skills for Case Work
A practice-focused follow-on from Package 1, moving from understanding trauma to applying it — built around a practical relational-competency toolbox staff can use immediately in interactions with children, youth and families, in case planning, assessments and more.
Trauma-Informed Care for Foster & Kinship Carers
A carer-specific version of trauma-informed training, addressing a well-documented gap: sector research shows kinship and permanent carers in particular are often unaware that therapeutic and developmental training exists for them, and training and support are consistently linked to whether carers stay in the role.
Trauma-Informed Practice in Residential & Group Care
Extends trauma-informed foundations into the specific demands of residential and group-care settings, drawing on the evidence base for therapeutic residential models and multi-agency initiatives that have measurably reduced critical incidents and police involvement.
Whole-of-Organisation Trauma-Informed Transformation
A consultation and training package for organisations wanting to move beyond one-off training and embed trauma-informed practice into culture, policy and everyday operations — modelled on evidence that whole-system, leadership-led approaches produce the strongest and most sustained outcomes.
Vicarious Trauma, Secondary Traumatic Stress & Workforce Wellbeing
Working with trauma affects the people who do the work. This package equips staff and organisations to recognise, prevent and recover from vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, burnout and compassion fatigue — and helps each person build their own self-care plan.
Trauma-Informed Practice for Education Settings
Adapts trauma-informed principles for the classroom and whole-school context, drawing on evidence that whole-school, leadership-backed trauma-informed approaches measurably improve staff confidence, student-staff relationships, attendance and behaviour.
Clinical Supervision & Reflective Practice
Regular group clinical supervision and reflective practice, delivered through our associate consultant network, gives teams a safe, structured space to process the emotional weight of the work, reflect on decisions and cases, and build learning and growth from practice — recognised as one of the most important organisational protections against vicarious trauma and burnout.
Executive & Board Briefing: The Case for Trauma-Informed Investment
A concise briefing for the people who set strategy and hold the budget. Demonstrates the evidence-based case for investing in trauma-informed workforce development and speaks to budget, policy, and evaluation considerations for ongoing sustainability.
